My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

🌶️ Meet Ike - Small in Size, Big in Sass! 🐾👑

Introducing Ike, a senior dog with a bold personality, a short fuse for nonsense, and a heart that just might belong to you - if you earn it. He may be little, but don’t let that fool you: Ike has main character energy and zero time for drama… unless he’s the one creating it. 😉

Ike is a spicy little guy who knows what he likes: cozy beds, snacks, respectful humans, and personal space. He’s not the kind of dog who throws himself into your arms. Nope—he prefers slow introductions, a little conversation (probably one-sided), and a solid get-to-know-you phase before he commits to cuddles.

🐕‍🦺 When it comes to other dogs, Ike says, “Let’s not rush things.” He can coexist with the right pup, but he insists on slow intros and proper manners - just like any refined gentleman would. Same goes for people: win him over, and he’ll be your loyal sidekick. Push too hard, and you’ll meet his spicy side. (It’s not personal. It’s just Ike.)

🌟 Ike’s Ideal Home:
• Low chaos, high snacks
• Patient, dog-savvy humans who appreciate a little sass with their snuggles
• No tiny humans, please - he’s not into sticky fingers or fast moves
• A soft spot to snooze, a secure place to explore, and someone who’ll let him live life on his terms

Ike is looking for that special someone who understands that a little spice makes life interesting. If you’re into underdogs with big attitudes and even bigger hearts once they trust you, Ike might just be your guy.

💥 Adopt Ike - because love comes in all sizes… and some of it bites a little first.

Additional adoption info

The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an application (applicant must be at least 23 years of age). Once your application is received a volunteer will contact you to discuss your application. All references listed will be contacted, along with a call to your veterinarian to make sure your current/former pets are/were up to date on all vaccinations. We also complete a background check and home visit will be performed. Once all that is complete, and application is approved, we will arrange meet and greets with our adoptables that may be a good fit for your family and lifestyle. If a perfect match is found, an adoption contract will need to be signed, along with an adoption fee.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

All of the above steps are then reviewed by the Chi-Town Pitties, Inc. Board for final approval. Once your application is approved by the Board, we will move forward with scheduling adoption interactions with potential dogs that are a good fit for you and your family.

More about this rescue

We are a small 501c3 nonprofit rescue, committed to leading with our heads rather than our hearts, to help quality dogs find quality homes.

We work closely with area shelters to get as much information as we can about the dogs we take in so we can be as prepared as possible to provide for their needs as we place them in well-matched foster homes. If you would like to join our team of fosters, expect us to have a close ongoing relationship with you as you help your pup get ready for their permanent home.

If you are looking to adopt, expect us to get to know you, too, so we can help you find the dog that will thrive best in your home situation. Like big dogs in general, pit bull type dogs tend to have big personalities, and are an athletic bunch (they even power nap). They aren’t right for every owner, but not every person should be allowed behind the wheel of a Maserati either.

Wondering if a pittie is right for you (and if you are right for them)? Talk to us!
